I know, sales were tapering off before the news announced. So it's more like me mixing up the time frame.

Media Create Sales: Week 20, 2018 (May 14 - May 20)
- Thread starter Chris1964

everything did like 5% better than i expected except for donkey kong and caligula which did slightly worse... a slow but somehow refreshing week
I think that number is heavily inflated by being the only other launch title on Switch that had any marketing behind it.

It will be interesting to see how the "God of legs" will compare to "Labomba" in a few weeks, when legs actually matter.
Is Donkey Kong's drop good? It's almost the biggest one this week but it is also the newest title in the chart so it makes sense. I don't expect to become another Switch big evergreen but if it could show Arms (still top 20 yay!!) kind of legs it would be great.
Labo is also doing ok, looks like it will hang around for the year and it will surely rise again in Obon and Christmas now.

Slow week but:
- Switch is proving to have sustainable baseline around 35k units which is not bad considering its price and the lack of big software;
- Switch software has amazing legs overall. All Nintendo-published games are still charting!
- PS4 sales show that the platform can't reach a mainstream market even with price cuts, compelling software, free games, bundles, peripherals and new versions. The platform had a boost thanks to World but that boost lasted too little.
Four days and 99% of games release on Thursday.

Caligula is sadly a disappointment, especially considering they clearly are investing more in the property now (even if the anime is a mess).
Funny thing is that Switch will consistently outsell last year numbers every week until H2, and will sell significantly more in the week of Minecraft and Mario Tennis. Then, H2 actually has games releasing, so it should get well ahead of last year's numbers as Q3 progresses, and be well ahead of 2017 by the end of the year. I still think 4.8M is reachable, especially if Pokémon comes out this year.
Nice, expected Switch to be at 20-25k.
Sort of. That piece of news was announced only yesterday (May 22), those sales numbers are for the week ending May 20.
New VR title from Sony Japan announced/trailer:
Looks/sounds fantastic. It's a full game based off of the wonderful PSVR demo.

It was good judgment from Nintendo to develop this title using the Salt Engine (TM) ;)
Poor Caligula, poor Satomi Tadashi lol
Now I feel I would like see the anime, maybe there's something cool there.

The range will go even further u don't need to worry.^_^ Both WW or Jp.
There is no God of Legs in JP. The most God of War will stay in the chart is another 3 to 4 weeks. Labo on the other hand will stay for quite some time on the virtue that Switch is actually a desirable product in Jp by mass audience.
Just wanted to thank you for chiming in on the last thread Vinkk, do you foresee any possibility that DQB2 could impact Minecraft negatively?
You say that now, but most people (at least I think) thought that last week it would be a quiet one. It was far from it lol.
For all the talk of Labo flopping I feel like the Variety Pack has done fairly well. I guess it all depends on what Nintendo's expectations were to begin with. Even if it's not a runaway success at this point I also don't believe it's a flop either.
I wonder what a new SKU that has say 2 of the smaller projects like the Fishing Pole, Steering Wheel, and small RC Car for somewhere around $40 would sell like. Would give it a cheaper barrier for entry and potential get more people willing to give it a try.

Isn't the week after Golden Week the slowest week of the year normally? I'm not sure why some expected Switch to drop down into the 20k-25k.
We have leaked numbers every month from an insider, they put Switch at a couple dozen k down from last year.
Next week there are some notable releases, so it will definitely be better.
Also it will include pay-day.
I wasn't being serious lol. We're in E3 pre-season now. There will be semi-big announcements every week for the next few weeks, and then of course plenty to talk about after E3. There won't be any quiet MC threads for a while.
Even without announcements, there's plenty of residual Capcom fuckery to argue about.
Not really. Most of the people I know who are playing DQB are other adults. There might be a bit of overlap but not many kids will buy "something like Minecraft" and not buy the original. They need the real deal so they can play with their friends.
We need someone to sacrifice their account and respectability for that to repeat, though.
